Zelenskyy’s reaction to the Russian strike

"It was a heavy strike – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic – 36. 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all the ballistic missiles were shot down. Most of the strikes hit Kyiv, and it was Kyiv that was the main target of this Russian attack," the head of state noted.

"Putin can’t even pronounce the word ‘hurray’ properly anymore – he mumbles – yet he’s still using his missiles to destroy residential buildings. Three Russian missiles struck a water supply facility, burned down a market, damaged dozens of residential buildings and several ordinary schools. He launched his‘Oreshnik’ against Bila Tserkva. They are truly out of their minds. It is vital that this does not go unpunished for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who does not remain silent, who helps Ukraine, is a defender of life," Zelenskyy added.

According to him, Ukraine is currently doing everything it can to establish peace and protect people. And it is important that Ukraine is not left alone.

"Decisions are needed from the United States of America, from Europe, and from others, so that this old curmudgeon in Moscow utters the word 'peace'. Thank you to everyone who is helping! Glory to Ukraine!", the president concluded.
